  1. R3 Headlight replacement bulbs?

    Be careful with CHEAP HID lights. I have read many documented cases where the balasts fail, thus causing 85volts to surge through the electrical system and fry EVERYTHING! It seems to mainly affect cheap kits from that Olympic country recently, and generally available on Ebay and cheap spare...

  2. Ikon Shocks?

    G'day mtcm101, Just a bit of an update. I spoke to the distributor here a while back now, and was told that these shocks were sold as Koni a few years ago. Apparently an Australian company bought the rights to make them, and a name change to boot. Thus Koni shocks for bikes are no longer...

  3. NEW outstanding service bulletins or recalls on your bike

    Just checked the Triumph web site and found I have a outstanding service bulletins or recall on my bike. I have had the last idle recall done, so does anyone know what this one is about? Cheers :D

  4. Ikon Shocks?

    G'day Legman, I fitted Ikons to my 06 RIII and the difference is unbelievably good. I went with 25mm over standard (330mm between eyes I think they were). The ride is superior, steering is more precise and the front to rear feels really well matched. I found the first spring preload and...

  5. Rocket Tyre Pressures? What do you run?

    UPDATE: Played around with the tyre pressures and settled on 38psi front and 42 psi rear. Made a huge difference. Might have to play with them when I get new shocks on the rear. Thanks to all who responded. Cheers

  6. Rocket Tyre Pressures? What do you run?

    G'day all, thats one seriously good looking R3 8) I've upped the pressure in the front and as soon as it ever stops raining, I'll go for a ride. I've been shopping for some Progressive 440's, they're $970 here in the Southland :shock: Maybe the Global economy is a good thing :idea:

  7. Gwarnching Noise whilst riding

    G'day TAS, I know this may sound silly, but have you checked the rear shock preload settings? Mine had a graunch in it as the shocks bottomed out over very minor bumps, adjusting both shocks to position 3 solve the problem, both solo and 2 up. Might be right off the track, but worth...

  8. Rocket Tyre Pressures? What do you run?

    Hi all, Just thought I'd ask this question before I start pulling the tools out. My 06 R3 has an annoying weave through open sweepers at 70kph up, nothing dangerous at this stage, just annoying feeling the bike moving around underneath me. Slight rear brake pressure solves the problem...

  9. staintune 3 into 3

    G'day John, Haven't got the Jardines yet, have a mate going to the States in October and he is bringing them back for me. They have have one 3 1/2in pipe each side. I'm not touching the airbox at this stage, maybe change the filter to a reusable, but after having one in the 4WD I'm not...

  10. staintune 3 into 3

    G'day all, John you sound as though you are in the same boat as me in regards to the cat box. I looked at the Staintune system, Very nice and VERY expensive if you add in the cat eliminator pipe! I have decided to get a set of Jardines 3-1-2. These get rid of the cat box, Triumph does a...

  11. Scavenge Pump - Oil Return

    G'day Scott, I was thinking more about slow riding in stop and go traffic, but anyway I resolved the problem myself :D The Service Manual is a wealth of information :wink: That chain drives the oil pump, the scavenge pump is deep in the motor, so I'm assuming it doesn't stop driving...

  12. Recall time Guy's

    This applies to Australia as well, mine is a mid 06. Anyone got any specifics on what the recall is all about? Cheers!

  13. OBDII or EOBD compatible

    Hi there Massive, Is that Scan Gage II plug and play or does it have to be installed? Chhers

  14. Scavenge Pump - Oil Return

    Hi all, I was just having a look at R34me pics of Nev's Lockup clutch (nice job). I noticed a chain coming from behind the clutch basket, down to what I presume is the scanenge pump sprocket. QUESTION: If I am sitting in traffic with the clutch pulled in for long periods, does this mean...

  15. 3 into 1 exhaust

    G'day AngusTriple, That Rocket looks hot! That's the sort of thing I was looking for, I presume it gets rid of the Cat. What I would like is something like a 100-125mm straight through muffler with a big slash cut on the end. Are those pipes available in Australia, or did you import...
